Parmesan Panko Crusted Squash with Sour Cream

The parmesan panko mixture forms a salty, crunchy coating that is delicious with the mildly sweet squash. With lemon zest for a burst of brightness and a trio of herbs for freshness including parsley, thyme and dill.

The real fun happens when the sour cream sauce shows up to the party. The dill ties all the flavors together and brings the entire thing to life. I was skeptical when I first saw the recipe and thought of skipping the sauce. I’m glad I didn’t. The sauce makes it. You don’t dare skip it. The squash will miss it.

If I told you how many squash have entered my kitchen the past few weeks . . . well, you probably wouldn’t believe me. You might ask yourself how could that be possible? Well, I am buying them left and right like a girl obsessed then eating them up like I will never, ever see another one again during my entire lifetime.
